Well, I told him that it was up to him and that he could decide if he wanted to go, and he texted me out of the blue to tell me he'd come.

I know I want a quick fix, but I know it won't be a quick fix. I just want to give it a try and see what happens.

I am going to give the "working on me" think a try, for sure. I can already think of things that I want to do when I get back. Like, on Monday, he will be at work, so I think that I will go to the library in the afternoon so that he will get home and I won't be there. Does that seem like a good idea? And then when I come in, I'll smile at him and say hello and act cheerfully, as it will be the first time we're seeing each other in a week.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to talk to him?
